The Way It Is

Well, I guess it ain't no secret
We can see it all
Some people they got nothing
Except their backs against the wall
(It's a shame, it's a shame)
Trouble everywhere
(Shame, shame)

They ain't even got clean water
Because we never share
That's the way it is
(That's just the way it is)
Yes, that's just the way it is
(It's a shame, it's a shame)
That's just the way it is

Now it's the same same old story
Now we got more than we need
It's a shame, yes it's a shame
When others just got poverty

You know this can't go on now
This can't go on like this no more
'Cause we're going down down down down down
Going down

Down down down down down

(That's the way it is)

(That's just the way it is)
(That's just the way it is)
(It's a shame, it's a shame)

(That's just the way it is)
(That's just the way it is)
(It's a shame, it's a shame)

(That's just the way it is)
